    Disco 2 BCU and Nanocom

    Usual BCU problem of immobilisation of the engine. Can I re-programme the BCU with Nanocom and if so, has anyone bought one recently? They seem to be based in Cyprus; anyone know who sells them in the UK?

    Forgot to mention there are 6 chimes too.

    Disco 2 Car won't start - gear selector issue?

    Neilly I'll have a look at the link and yes, it is a B with a cross through it. Dippypud The battery is down slightly. The car has been standing for nearly a month now but the battery has been on charge today.

    Disco 2 Car won't start - gear selector issue?

    When I turn the key, there is power to everything but it won't even turn over. It's an automatic and the gear indicator shows all the lcd bars activated. I'm guessing its a gear selector issue. I've disconnected the battery in the hope that it resets everything. Not connected it back yet - I...

    Disco 2 steel wheels

    Devon4x4 sell Zu alloys (a Mach 5 type design) as well as MaxXtrac rims; however, these are alloys, if you want steel wheels then the choice is rather limited to either a modular design or the rather plain Land Rover ones. Most companies don't seem to cater for the 16" D2/P38 market. What tyres...

    Disco 2 ACE removal

    I'm removing it for economic reasons. Corroded and leaking pipes and a knackered pump means it's going! Smoke from the pump was a bit of a concern.

    Disco 2 ACE removal

    I'm in the process of removing the ACE on my car. I've removed the pulley and done some of the pipework but I can't remove the ACE block. It's on the RHS, mounted on the chassis - the reason I can't remove it is because there are no heads to the bolts. I assume there should be, the LR manual...

    Disco 2 ACE problem

    There is something badly wrong with the ACE rear anti-roll bar on my car! If I go around a RH corner, one of the rear droplinks pops out and wrecks itself. Does anyone know what the problem is or encountered this one before? I thought it might be more of an electronic/ECU problem rather than a...

    Series 3 stuck in 4wheel drive

    I have a similar issue when I had a IIA; it was easily solved by reversing backward about 10 foot. It's something to do with wind-up within the gearbox.

    Disco 2 ARB ACE actuator

    The rear one on my V8 is leaking really badly. I initially thought that one of the pipe fittings was leaking but the oil seems to be running out of the rubber corrugated cover. I'm guessing that the seal has gone/worn through. Are they easy to change?

    Disco 2 Power steering fluid colour

    I've got ACE on my car and I just checked the level and it's black; doesn't quite seem right to me. What colour should it be?

    Disco 2 Front wheel touching radius arm

    On my car they are on the front of the hub rather than the rear. I've unwound the one on the RHS by 2 turns; just need to take it out and try in now. Thanks for the help too.

    I'll have a look if it ever stops raining!

    Disco 2 Front wheel touching radius arm

    How do I adjust the steering so that it doesn't touch everytime I turn left?

    Disco 2 Rear anti-roll bar

    I keep breaking the tie-bars on my rear anti-roll bar! I go round a corner, there's a massive bang and when I look, the tie-bar ball and socket has popped out! A quick check last night and I noticed that the arms of the ARB are not even. One is really high compared to the other. I have ACE on...

    Disco 2 Watts linkage problem?

    Yikes! I was hoping it was going to be an easy job! Sparks and petrol are probably not favourable companions in this case!

    Disco 2 Watts linkage problem?

    Forgot to add that new Bearmach ones are only £9.25 each off a popular on-line auction site; free postage too!

    Disco 2 Watts linkage problem?

    It's not the watts linkage that's making the knock but the rear anti-roll bar tie-rods. It is a ball and socket type link at the top of each one and the left hand one is popping out when I turn left and snapping back when I turn right.

    What's draining my battery?

    It was happening to my car too and I found out that it was the pump for the air suspension constantly on even though the car was locked. After saying that, it will probably be something totally different with your car; like the other guys said, a new battery may be required.

    Disco 2 Flat battery

    I think I found the problem. The electric pump for the air suspension was working all the time, even though the ignition was not on. I heard it first and took the cover off to check, the motor was quite warm and vibrated slightly. After unplugging it, the noise stopped, I've now removed it and...
